1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study presents a sustainable approach to transform waste cooking oil (WCO) into a multifunctional 3D-printable photocurable elastomer with integrated self-healing capabilities. A linear monomer, WCO-based methacrylate fatty acid ethyl ester (WMFAEE), was synthesized via a sequential strategy of transesterification, epoxidation, and ring-opening esterification. By copolymerizing WMFAEE with hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA), a novel photocurable elastomer was developed, which could be amenable to molding using an LCD light-curing 3D printer. The resulting WMFAEE-HPA elastomer exhibits exceptional mechanical flexibility (elongation at break: 645.09%) and autonomous room-temperature self-healing properties, achieving 57.82% recovery of elongation after 24 h at 25 °C. Furthermore, the material demonstrates weldability (19.97% retained elongation after 12 h at 80 °C) and physical reprocessability (7.75% elongation retention after initial reprocessing). Additional functionalities include pressure-sensitive adhesion (interfacial toughness: 70.06 J/m
